The Bible, King James Version, Book 26: Ezekiel The Bible, King James Version, Book 26: Ezekiel / Book 26 Ezekiel; lines 1557-1678 confidence: high
A first great eagle takes cedar growth from Lebanon, carries it to a mercantile city, plants seed by great waters, and a low vine grows; a second great eagle appears and the vine turns toward him for water.
The passage first narrates eagles, cedar, vine, waters, and withering, then explicitly asks what these things mean and applies them to Babylon, Jerusalem, covenant, and Egypt.
